“Backpacking Tents” by Nutnfancy, Part 1
PART 1 of 3 //////////////
Sleeping under the stars is a bit overrated for me. Seems the bugs attack, the critters find you, the wind blows away your body heat, frost and condensation soak your bag, then the rain falls, and no matter what your gear gets filthy. A minimalist tent tarp, bivy, or floor-less tent are some ways to avoid to some of those hassles. But my favorite option is a quality designed and constructed lightweight backpacking tent like the ones profiled in this Nutnfancy series of videos. Here I cover most of the design aspects and experience-based opinions on just such a tent. POUs, Firepower vs Mobility, Impact, Livability concerns, Longevity, Ventialtion, Maintenance, Sleeve and Pole Construction, Fabric Choices, Convenience Features, and buying sources are all covered in the series. It would be unrealistic and probably of limited use for me to review certain models since most are so shortlived in the marketplace. Instead I use category representatives and teach the features, construction, sizing, and the many considerations to arm the buyer with the knowledge to make the best purchase choice. Always buy out-of-season whenever possible to save big money; it’s very possible to get a ultra-quality BP tent this way for well under $200. Take care of it and it will serve you and your family forever too. Location was the scenic and beautiful Rocky Mountains with Allie the Mountain Dog in tow. This series was lots of work to put together, make happen, and produce but I hope it sheds some light on for some a confusing subject. Get a tent and get out there!

I got no ordinary tv anymore after I discorved all the cool tv on youtube – well I do have what i got for free. Mr. nutnfancy realy got some media talent, and I like to see informative TV that flows. I done some camping ,but I never been hiking with the real equipment – I was cold in yosemite in the frost(light).What would be informative if there was some about camping and hiking with children-i`ts fun,i`ts cheap and they will be a little more prepared if times changes.

Great vid, I’m off to watch the next ones. I really like my 4 man A frame Timberline Outfitter by Eureka. Its not really a backpacking tent (10 lbs) but it can take some punishment. I’ve camped with it mostly in Canada on the Great Lakes (Georgian Bay) and almost always have to set up in rain or constant wind and I can set it up alone in about 10 minutes or less. Its stood up to constant 40mph winds with 60mph gusts with rain quite well.

Thanks nutnfancy. I just purchased a North Face Rock 22 tent for $71 dollars. It’s not the best tent, a bit heavy and a bit small, but for the price and for my POU – A high-value one man tent – it works well.
